3rd International Congress of the Greek Local Chapter of the CRS (Controlled Release Society)




WELCOME MESSAGE

Dear Colleagues, 

It is our privilege and special pleasure to invite you to the 3rd International Congress of the Greek Local Chapter of the Controlled Release Society, on June 19th - 20th, 2017 in Athens, Greece. 
This year the program focuses on the scientific and regulatory aspects of the two main formulation categories, namely, generics and biotechnological drugs/Biosimilars. In addition, special emphasis is given to the emerging field of complex drugs. 
The list of topics quoted below gives a more detailed picture of the topics covered. We encourage the submission of oral or poster presentations from young scientists. 

In order to guarantee the quality of future research and new practical applications, a dialogue between experienced colleagues, young scientists and professional is also encouraged.

We are looking forward to welcoming you in Athens, Greece.
